Friday, October 18, 2024 - In a dramatic rescue, neighbours in a Bulawayo suburb, in Zimbabwe, came to the aid of a young boy who got trapped inside a drainage pipe while playing with friends.
The child, who was enjoying an afternoon of fun with his
mates, decided to crawl inside an unused cement drainage pipe as part of their
game. However, what seemed like an adventurous moment quickly turned
problematic when he became stuck and couldn't get out. Despite his friends’
attempts to free him, the boy remained trapped inside the pipe, growing
increasingly distressed.
Hearing his cries for help, nearby residents rushed to the
scene. A group of men worked together to hoist the pipe upright and positioned
it in a small hole to leverage the boy's weight, hoping to push him down and
free him.
His friends, watching on, couldn’t help but laugh at the
situation as the boy shouted from inside the pipe. After several minutes of
careful shaking and pulling, the neighbours successfully freed the child. One
of his friends then helped pull him out and dusted him off.
Thankfully, the boy was unharmed, and the neighbourhood was
left relieved after the playful incident ended without injury.
